It’s another day of seeing what nepo babies are up to! This time, Julia Roberts’ niece, Emma Roberts, caught fans’ attention when she took her toy’s coat and “undergarments” to a local dry cleaner.
On Sunday, Oct. 19, the 34-year-old shared an Instagram video of herself heading to the dry cleaner just to get her new doll’s hot pink coat and “undergarments” cleaned. In the clip, she walks into the store and says, “This is my doll; she needs her coat dry-cleaned, and I was wondering if you could do it,” while requesting assistance. “So we have the coat, and we have the little undergarments. So cute, right? So we’ll get her all sorted out?”

Emma Roberts Posts ‘Unhinged’ Video Taking Her Doll’s Clothing to the Dry Cleaner
She later returned to the dry cleaners to pick up the items, and the doll’s mini fur coat and undergarments looked clean and refreshed. Roberts shared a clip of herself back at the store collecting the doll’s chic pieces. “She’s going to be so thrilled. You guys, can you even believe it? So cute,” she says.
The internet erupted in the comments, with some fans marveling at her carefree lifestyle and others simply captivated by the unusual moment.

Emma Roberts Addresses Nepotism Claims
While many found her dry-cleaning escapade amusing, Roberts has also faced criticism for being a nepo baby and the advantages it’s given her career and life.
As the daughter of actor Eric Roberts and niece of Hollywood icon Julia Roberts, Emma has often been asked how her family ties have shaped her career. Her connection to the industry started young, spending time on her aunt Julia's film sets and landing her first role in 2001’s Blow. In a July 2024 interview with Flaunt magazine, she admitted, "I've lost more jobs than I've gained from being in the business," explaining that assumptions about her famous family have sometimes worked against her.
Her statements garnered backlash from the internet, with comments that included, "The fact that she's even in THE POSITION is because she's a nepo baby." One other added, "She wouldn't have a career in the first place without nepotism. Nepotism is literally the only reason anyone knows who she is."
